Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stopped here after reading the reviews. We were greeted by friendly helpful staff who explained the different options and menu, gave recommendations and quickly placed our order. The food was OUTSTANDING and quite possibly the best calzone I have ever had. It was a great find in downtown STL and I would recommend in a heartbeat. Wish we were local to be able to try more combinations!

This place has giant, delicious calzones. My daughter and I ordered the Meat Me in St. Louie, and my husband got a vegetable one, and they arrived very quickly after we ordered. They also had a good beer selection for the adults and soda for the kids.

Man if you are looking for a great place to dine in st louis look no further than sauce on the side. Spun from the great calzones, from seinfeld, these irresistible calzones are made fresh daily. There are all different kinds of things to put in a calzone to their monthly special. This is one stop in st louis you have to make....

Our family stopped here in between visiting the arch and The City Museum on spring break. Even mid-afternoon they were pretty busy, but the staff was friendly, helpful, and keeping tables cleared for more guests. We all loved our calzones, and all of us took boxes for a snack later. On top of a great lunch, when we accidentally left behind some souvenirs and I called a few days later, they very kindly agreed to mail them to us. That’s above and beyond! I highly recommend Sauce on the Side when you’re in downtown STL!

Our first visit was even better than expected. The Costanza was flavorful right down to the crust. Best calzone I’ve had. Dessert was a Nutella/banana calzone, not too sweet, and the perfect amount for two. Will return.

I have had many calzones from other restaurants. Nothing comes close to Sauce on the Side! The crust was perfect. It wasn't thick and doughy but I didn't feel like I was eating a stuffed cracker either. Filings were delicious and the cheese was amazing. I am a visitor to St Louis and how I wish we had this restaurant in New Mexico. Should I return to this beautiful city, I will definitely be eating here again.

The ultimate calzone restaurant! A wide variety of calzones are on the menu or you can create your own. The are not your traditional calzones, although you can have a traditional one. It is made to order so you can customize it. Salads available too. We’ve been here a few times. The decore is wood floors and chairs in a casual environment. Small restaurant with about 10 tables. Order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. It’s delish!

Our family of 5 stopped here for lunch. It’s a place where you order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. The restaurant was clean and decorated funky. My mom had the Roasty Toasty which was very good - the pesto sauce was great. My wife and I shared a Five O and a Beets Me Salad Awesome food - the BBQ sauce was both super sweet and super peppery. And the salad was refreshing, My kids built their own with Mac and cheese and a host of other things, They also have a soda machine with local sodas which was refreshing. We loved the food.

My daughter suggested Sauce on the Side after reading up on Food Network’s recommendations for St. Louis. The variety of calzone options should appeal to any tastebud. They were perfectly fired, with just the right amount of dough, not too thick and not too thin. They offer local sodas as well. It was just a short walk from our hotel and worth a trip out in the extreme heat.

Who doesn't like anything tasting like pizza?? I make calzones at home, but usually only 1-2x/year(labor intensive from scratch). I can really appreciate what all goes into this item! So many combos to make it healthy, or not. Flavors are so intense. Dipping sauce is tasty and plentiful. Ordered large salad and shared it with 6 people. Yum!

Food disappointing. Veggie calzone was basically bread with a sprinkle of veggies. Caesar salad was basic. Will spend disposable income elsewhere. However glad I tried so can remove from list.

For the price, can't be beat. Essentially a dozen different types of calzones and a half-dozen different types of salads. The calzones are huge; twice the typical lunch size. Very creative with lots of varieties with names like "Gonzo" and "Cock a Doodle Noodle". Casual atmosphere; order at the counter - get served at a table.

I am a man of pedestrian tastes. I want something simple and tasty delivered with no fanfare and a cold beer. Sauce delivered. I had a wonderful calzone the size of a manhole cover and a wonderful local IPA. I sat outside on a quiet evening in a gentle breeze. It was bloody delightful.

We were looking for something local that would deliver to our downtown hotel. I chose this because it looked pretty good and I loved the word play on Meet Me in St. Louis which is a movie I love. I had to of course try the “Meat” Me in St. Louis calzone. I normally don’t love a lot of meats but this was actually really good. One calzone was pretty big and enough for two of us to split. The only slight con was it didn’t exactly split even so the meats were kind of divided and I got a lot more of it. We also got the Pepperoni Basil bites but I didn’t really like them at all. Overall the calzone was really good and I especially appreciated the word play - perfect for a first time tourist obsessed with the movie.

The calzones are big enough to share. They also have salads.
The apple pie is just as big as the calzone.
For what ever reason, I do not like the red sauce.
They have local craft soda. They also offer beer and wine.
At this location, the restroom is shared with the neighboring hotel.
